Boy have you got that wrong....China makes so much automotive content you wouldn't believe it. It is made by US & European supplier joint ventures.
If you mean low tech stuff like rotors and such then you are right. But sensors and high tech stuff are imported from abroad and assembled in China. A V6 block can be made there, too.
But the products manufactured there for the internal market are always a generation or two behind what we have in the US.
